The garden center at the Harris Street Southern States is by far my favorite local nursery. Yes, it is small, but the staff members there know their plants and often stock some harder-to-find varieties. If they don't carry it, they will order it for you at no charge. The prices are much better than the swanky nursery west of town. I go there to get ideas, but come back to Southern States to buy the plants. If you have plant questions, Dori and Neva can help you out. Plus there are often $5 coupons in the weekly SS ad circular -- can't beat that!
